We have sailed the 8 night on the fantasy a couple of times, and have it booked again for October. With the exception of 2021, we have paid full price for that cruise - we never saw any VGT rates. I just cancelled the full price fare for the 8 night and booked as a VGT. Saved $1300.
There are some amazing deals on the fantasy this summer and fall. We jumped on the VGT rate for the 9 night in July also.
DCL must have lots of unsold cabins on the fantasy right now.
